No, none of it matters OP. It only matter to the parents of people who went there, who don't want to admit their offspring's boss went to State U. it matters to them, and the employees of USNWR.

Stanford and CalTech
Even for CS and most eng fields, it would be all 3 (Stanford, Cal, and CalTech...my years at Stanford probably affect the ordering there). In general though, it would be the 2. CalTech and UCLA are great too and undervalued here. The same could be said about Pomona and CMC in terms of SLACs.
Stanfdr, CalTech, USC.

Are big public schools really that great at the undergrad level though?
Yes, for the right kids.
No they are not. Public schools get a boost from grad school. They are large and accept a ton of students, in turn deans at a lot of unis give them high ratings.
You sound delusional.
Nothing about Berkeley is a 4.7, or UVA a 4.3. Live with it.
Please contact those behind virtually every modern college ranking and notify them of their errors.
Berkeley is ranked 36 on times/wsj. This thread happens to just be about us news.

I seriously wonder if the Berkeley (and Emory/Columbia) basher is the same person as the Northeastern booster
